Destroyed by appeasing his enemies: The Shakespearean tragedy o
The Jeremy Corbyn project has ended in tears with
an utterly demoralising general election defeat
for Labour, but it could – and should – have been
very different if only Corbyn had trusted his own instincts.
There is a distinctly Shakespearean air to the
political demise of UK Labour leader Jeremy
Corbyn, which took place, appropriately enough,
on Friday the 13th of December 2019 (or you could
say 15 March would have been even more appropriate).
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, which
taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted,
all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows
and miseries,” the great bard wrote in ‘Julius Caesar’.
Jeremy Corbyn was never in a stronger position
than on the morning of the day after the general
election of June 2017. Against all the odds and
punditocracy predictions, he had taken Labour to
the brink of a stunning victory. The 40 percent
of the vote Labour attained in that election
represented the biggest increase in the share of
the popular vote the party had achieved in over
70 years. But fatally, Corbyn didn’t take the
tide at the flood. He should have used the moment
to move swiftly and decisively against his
‘centrist’ enemies in the party who had done so
much to undermine him. Instead, he held out an
olive branch to them. They repaid his magnanimity
by plotting the downfall which came to a head so spectacularly this week.

52% of voters17.4 million people voted to leave
the EU in 2016, many of them Labour voters.
They had absolutely no idea why they were being
asked by Labour to vote again. And they were right.
2nd ref was always an establishment stitch up to
reverse a result they didn’t like.

Phase One of the plan was to get Labour to sign
up to an electorally suicidal shift on Brexit.
Labour did so well in 2017 largely because it
gave a clear manifesto commitment to respect the
result of the 2016 referendum. But great pressure
was exerted on Corbyn to agree to a change in
policy and pledge Labour to support a second
referendum. Years earlier, Corbyn had, quite
rightly, attacked the EU for making the Irish
vote again after they had rejected the Lisbon
Treaty. But asking Labour Leavers to vote again
on whether to leave the EU is precisely what
Corbyn was doing in the 2019 general election.
It’s true that others were constructing his
political coffin, but it’s also true that Corbyn handed them the nails.

The irony lost on most Right-leaning commenters,
that identify Labour as the hard-Left, is that it
is the Right-wing of the party that supported
Remain. If Labour were actually hard-Left, it would have backed Leave.

Phase Two of the plan to ‘Get Corbyn’ was to
promote a narrative that Labour under his
leadership was absolutely awash with
anti-Semitism. Corbyn’s enemies wanted us to
believe that Labour, a party which always prided
itself on its anti-racist credentials, and which
had a Jewish leader as recently as 2015, was in
fact a racist party. Incredibly, this audacious
campaign succeeded because Corbyn failed to call
it out. The level of actual anti-Semitism in
Labour was tiny, but the Labour leader accepted
the narrative that there was a big problem to
deal with. The result of his continually going on
the back-foot was that he and his party were
denounced as ‘anti-Semitic’ on an almost hourly
basis. Chris Williamson, a loyal Corbyn ally, was
thrown under the bus on trumped-up charges. But
this appeasement only led to the campaign being ratcheted up still further.

ON RT.COMLabour’s failure to realise this was a
2nd Brexit referendum hands Britain to Boris
Corbyn paid a very heavy price for the mistakes
he made in the period 2017-19. The party’s
backtracking on Brexit saw them haemorrhage
support in their traditional pro-Leave Northern
heartlands and lose working-class seats in the
election that they had held for generations.
Labour lost Blyth Valley for the first time ever.
Wrexham in North Wales went Conservative for the
first time ever. Great Grimsby was lost by Labour
for the first time in 74 years. 71 percent of
voters there had voted Leave in 2016. Yet Labour
was asking them to vote again, next year. How absurd.

I see phase 2 of the coup against Corbyn is
already in full swing aided by the complicit media
The right of the party vociferous in playing down
Brexit as the main factor for defeat and are
championing a "centrist" direction in policy & leader

Bearing in mind all the hope of real, meaningful
change that Corbyn had inspired in the first
years of his Labour leadership, it is shattering
to contemplate how it all went horribly wrong.
How Shakespearean that Corbyn, a lifelong
Eurosceptic, should be politically destroyed by
agreeing a pivot towards Remain – which he must
have known was quite crazy. How Shakespearean
that Corbyn, a veteran supporter of Palestinian
rights, should be so submissive in the face of
what the great Israeli journalist Gideon Levy
<https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-the-contract-on-corbyn-1.8192769>described
as a ‘contract’ taken out on him by the ‘Israeli propaganda machine’.

ON RT.COMRipping the heart out of Labour’s
heartlands: How Johnson snatched working-class towns from under Corbyn’s nose
Corbyn’s failure to hit back forcefully – or
indeed hit back at all – against the smear
campaigns of his enemies was praised by some as
signs of his Zen-like calm, but to millions of
others it looked like weakness. In last week’s
leaders’ debate, Boris Johnson labelled Corbyn a
supporter of the IRA. Corbyn said nothing in response.
For all his decency, it’s undeniable that Corbyn
– when he got to the brink of power – treated his
enemies much better than he did his friends.
That, sadly, will be his epitaph. A golden
opportunity for the left in Britain has been squandered.
“Men at some times are masters of their fates.
The fault, Dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but
in ourselves, that we are underlings.”

'From South America, where payment must be made with subtlety, the
Bormann organization has made a substantial contribution. It has
drawn many of the brightest Jewish businessmen into a participatory
role in the development of many of its corporations, and many of
these Jews share their prosperity most generously with Israel. If
their proposals are sound, they are even provided with a specially
dispensed venture capital fund. I spoke with one Jewish businessmen
in Hartford, Connecticut. He had arrived there quite unknown several
years before our conversation, but with Bormann money as his
leverage. Today he is more than a millionaire, a quiet leader in the
community with a certain share of his profits earmarked as always for
his venture capital benefactors. This has taken place in many other
instances across America and demonstrates how Bormann's people
operate in the contemporary commercial world, in contrast to the
fanciful nonsense with which Nazis are described in so much "literature."
So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish participation in Bormann
companies that when Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the Jewish and German
communities of Buenos Aires. Jewish leaders informed the Israeli
authorities in no uncertain terms that this must never happen again
because a repetition would permanently rupture relations with the
Germans of Latin America, as well as with the Bormann organization,
and cut off the flow of Jewish money to Israel. It never happened
again, and the pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an Argentinian safe haven,
protected by the most efficient German infrastructure in history as
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.'
